Can see this going like Matt White and Gus.
He and Zak teaming up forward is going to be worth going to games to watch.

As long as we get Jones i'm okay with it. I will give the a chance and see how things go.
Times 2. I have faith in our recruiting team. A small gamble that has the potential for significant upside. We need Rozee, Butters and Houston to spend more time architecting play in midfield. Boak, Wines and Rockliff are extractors (with SPP) - all 3 at stoppages is where we need to change.

I think the point is being made that under the Academy bidding rules we would probably have been forced to spend the 29 pick matching an opposition bid on Lachie Jones. If we were never going to get the chance to use the 29 pick there is no point in speculating who we might have used it on.
I just hope Fantasia turns out OK for us. I would dispute the assertion that Fantasia is a proven AFL player. He has had a couple of good years but he has had some ordinary years as well.
Welcome Orazio. If he can get back to fitness his ability to score in heavy traffic in the forward line will help us, especially during the home and away rounds.
Believe it or not some of us rated Aliir before trade week highlights packages.

I only judge players on highlights packages. And locker tidiness
Been a bit of this rhetoric. I don't think that's how strategic list management works.
If we get Jones this year it all looks ok, but it leaves our trade capital and options for next year thinner. In a year that we have more F/S picks and a draft we're keen on...
I don't think we can rely on getting more picks for fringe players for good value, as the opposition would start to know we are reasonably desperate and don't have other options.
Well see I guess. It's not the end of the world but it's certainly overs.

Yes we can thank Buddy for delivery of Aliir.
Lol that lot is worth nothing. We would be lucky to get offered pick 88 for lienert or Garner. Could we get much for bonner? Will he want to leave Sa? A 29yr old lycett?
if wines leaves our inside mid stocks would have been decimated and we would have to go all in on replacing him somehow.

Safe to assume he’ll grab the #13?
That means we should get more channel 7 games next year as Brian Taylor is dying to call him.
I think this is a good pick up as he has pace and can finish in front of goal. Didn't cost much in the end. Losing draft picks this year isn't a bad thing considering how tough the draft is going to be without scouting talent due to Covid restrictions.

When he croaks it there will be Stephen Rowe to fight the fight....

He's across the line now so we have to get behind him regardless of whether or not we overpaid.
There is a chance he could be very good for us. I'd say it clearly wasn't worth the punt at the price, but at this point you just have to hope it pays off.
When Dodoro doesn’t bid on Jones, we know the price we paid for Fantasia will all make sense.

Sure you don't have any more thoughts on Orazio's race to bless us with?
Maybe you could let us know what you think of Sudanese people while you're here so we know whether Aliir was a good pick up?
